Super Lord of the Rings

The second round of the Pistons VS Bulls became the focus of the battle in the East, and the focus of the West was the "horse war" between the Mavericks and the Spurs.

David Stern asked the management to study it, and planned to start changing the competition system next season. The preliminary plan is that the division champions only lock the top four.

In this way, at most, the fourth place will have a worse record than the fifth, and the strongest teams will not meet early in the second round.

If it is not changed, it will not work, if it is unfair, it will be small, but if it affects the alliance to make money, it will be big.

The Heat's strength against the Pacers is fairly close, and the Suns' victory against the Clippers made money. These two teams have no strength to enter the Western Conference Finals. No matter who gets in, it's luck, and the Western Conference Finals is likely to become very boring.

The early elimination of the Bulls by the Pistons is not what the league wants to see. The popularity of the players is too far apart. Fans love the Bulls, especially Chinese fans will definitely support Wang Jun. Who's rooting for the Pistons but Detroit fans?

Experts predict that the two sides are likely to fight seven games. The regular season record is 3 to 1, and the Pistons lead. However, the Bulls played well in the first round of the playoffs and have a chance to advance.

Before the war, the war of words between the two teams was already in full swing.

Ben Wallace is quite disdainful of the Cavaliers. He said in an interview: "The fact that the Bulls can sweep the Cavaliers does not mean they can beat us. The Cavaliers' bench players are poor, and our bench players are as good as the starters."

Rasheed Wallace said: "If you want to win the championship, you have to rely on defense. You can score 10,000 points, but if your opponent scores 10,001 points, then you still lose."

The reporters shook their heads and sighed secretly: It’s terrible not to have gone to school, ten thousand to ten thousand and one, is this a defense?

Wang Jun didn't shy away from the opponent's edge, and after hearing Da Ben's words, he smiled and said: "The Pistons' bench players are as capable as the starters. I agree with this statement. Their inside free throw ability seems to be similar to that of Ben Wallace. "

Mark Hill, the 26th pick in the first round, made 33.3% of his free throws this season, and McDyess' 55.7% is not very good. The most amazing thing is that Rasheed Wallace seemed to be infected after entering the playoffs, and his free throw percentage was only 56.7%.

Wang Jun's words reached the ears of the Piston players, and everyone was angered.

On May 5, Skiles convened a meeting with all the staff to discuss countermeasures, and watched the video of the Bucks winning together to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Watch the game in its entirety. Skiles said loudly: "I want to beat the Pistons. There are three main points. One is that their offense is flawed. So I plan to reduce the number of rounds and ensure the success rate on the offensive end. Second, Ben Wallace's free throws are terrible. , if he gets into the basket.

The outside player should foul in time and send him a free throw. third. The Pistons are not good at every single point of defense. Hamilton is easy to be overwhelmed by opponents with good physique. If the big man is misplaced against him. To attack boldly. "

Skiles thought for a moment and asked, "Wang. Do you have anything to add? You beat the Pistons with the Nets in 2004."

Wang Jun stood up and said: "I think the Pistons still have a weakness. Except for Rasheed and Ben, the others are not good at defending against breakthroughs. If we strengthen the breakthrough offense in the second quarter, it may have a good effect."

How did the Nets beat the Pistons? Wang Jun's memory is still fresh, and it's no problem to pull Jefferson away from Hamilton.

"Very well said." Skiles nodded.

The Bucks also made a lot of breakthroughs in the game against the Pistons. The Pistons can reduce their hit rate only by shooting from the outside.

The strength of the substitute starter is about the same. These words are more appropriate to evaluate the bulls. Especially at the small forward position, it is no problem for Luol Deng or Nocioni to start. As long as Wang Jun attracts Prince's defense, they can single-handedly beat Hamilton.

The Pistons also held a meeting to study how to play, which was similar to the regular season. They asked Prince to defend Wang Jun, mixed defense, and pay attention to switching defenses inside.

The only position where Sanders has a headache is the center. Ben Wallace's performance is terrible. The playoff data dropped to 4.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 blocks.

Facing Bucks rookie Bogut, Ben Wallace didn't show any advantages, and the opponent didn't need to take foul tactics against him. He's shooting a ridiculous 27.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Such a rough guy actually quarreled with the management with full confidence, claiming that he would leave without paying a high salary.

Sanders felt that replacing him with Chandler of the Bulls would improve his overall strength a lot. At least Chandler's free throws were not so bad that the coach wanted to scold him.

The Pistons are the last chance to win the championship this year. Both Sanders and Joe Dumars understand that if this lineup fails to win, they will have to consider rebuilding next season.

On the 7th, the first battle between the two sides started at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The players didn't say hello when they came out. During the All-Star Game, the three Pistons didn't give Wang Jun a good look.

Hamilton watched Wang Jun warm up and shoot in his own half, with an ugly face.

When Wang Jun first entered the league, Hamilton didn't take him seriously at all, thinking that he was the best off-ball guard in the league.

As a result, three years later, Wang Jun has won the scoring title by combining off-ball and on-ball play. Hamilton is still just an ordinary 20+ player, a second-rate star.

If there is no Wang Jun, Hamilton may be selected for the All-Star game this season, but he does not hate Wang Jun, but regrets that he has gone the wrong way.

He spends all his time exercising his physical strength and shooting, and has always insisted on playing without the ball. He never thought about further honing his dribbling skills and strengthening his physique.

Many people are born with good physical fitness, but comprehensive skills are definitely not. Everyone is trained the day after tomorrow. In the past, Hamilton felt that the players who attacked with the ball took a lot of effort, and he was not necessarily as efficient as him, so he was complacent. Thinking about it now, isn't this a kind of not thinking about making progress?

Which of the superstars in history is not comprehensive in technology? Even O'Neal's low footsteps and dribbling are excellent, instead of just playing with his body. If Yao Ming only relies on his height to play, he will never become a star. His excellent footwork and shooting touch are the reasons for his success.

Hinrich observed Billups and swore in his heart that what he said today could no longer be guarded to death.

The media analyzed this series and competed for several positions. They believed that the Bulls had the upper hand at the 2nd and 3rd positions, and that the center position was equally strong, while the 4th and 1st positions were at a disadvantage.

This statement made Hinrich very upset. He also wanted to become a star. In the playoffs, Wang Jun reduced his shots. When the opportunity to perform came, he had to seize it.

When the two sides started in the field, Zhang Lili was surprised: "Today the Bulls adjusted the lineup, and Hayes started. This is going to be a surprise."

Yu Jia analyzed: "Hayes is short, and he is better at breaking through with defenders. He should be responsible for defending Rasheed Wallace and David Lee against Big Ben. This adjustment is very interesting."

The other four starters for the Bulls are David Lee, Luol Deng, Wang Jun, and Hinrich.

The Pistons' starting lineup is unshakable: Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rasheed, Ben Wallace.

Big Ben and Hayes jump the ball. Since Daben didn't have an afro hairstyle today, he showed his real height, which is only about two meters, and Hayes is even shorter.

TN*T broadcast the game live, and Barkley laughed it off. "This is a milestone moment. There is a Chinese saying about the shortest starting center in NBA history. A tooth for a tooth, short for short." (China doesn't have such words!)
